David Moyes

He's definitely a "let's get to 40 points and see where we are" guy.

Which is fine - because that's where we currently are as a club

Are we?

Are we?

No. From the day he was reappointed, he's talked constantly about getting us in the top half of the table as quickly as possible and getting into Europe, and not wanting to manage a club that's languishing in the lower reaches.

But that won't suit @superpull 's narrative

Some great answers from him there.

This isn't a narrative about him. It's a narrative about a club that has narrowly survived oblivion for the last 5 or so years.

There should be no expectation of Europe.
So if we hit spring and have a chance of that happening he will have done fantastically well.

Similarly, if we end up 14th and the season peters out, I don't think he should come in for any stick.

But he is absolutely belt & braces first. Which is what we need. Which means we get safe asap and then move onto the next target.
That was his philosophy when we *were* in Europe
